    Excerpt from an article written by Wichita State:

    When Lucas Webb and Aliyah Funschelle received honors at the Wichita State University Innovation Awards in January, their Bright Futures awards couldn’t have been more on the nose.

    Excerpt from an article written by Wichita State:

    When Lucas Webb and Aliyah Funschelle received honors at the Wichita State University Innovation Awards in January, their Bright Futures awards couldn’t have been more on the nose.

    Aliyah, a senior in sport management with a minor in communication, was honored for her creation of the student-run sports digital network known as Shockwave.

    “I’ve had a lot of experiences getting to cover sports, and a lot of those opportunities I created for myself. I know a lot of people don’t have that ability,” she said. “People always ask me how I get to do what I do, so I thought – why not just start something for other students to get to hands-on experience in the sports industry?”

    Aliyah created Shockwave in August 2019, and the network is dedicated to all Shocker sports.

    “It’s all WSU sports. We even did a live broadcast from some intramural sports. We cover rowing, e-sports – anything Wichita State-related,” she said.

    Aliyah is now ensuring that Shockwave has a sustainable future.

    “I’m laying down the foundation for it to still run after I’m gone,” she said. “I’m creating a handbook and appointing future leaders and teaching them how to recruit and how to maintain Shockwave."
